Show HN: Verani – Socket.io-like realtime SDK for Cloudflare

I built Verani, an experimental realtime SDK for Cloudflare Actors (Durable Objects).

The goal is to bring a familiar, event-based DX (rooms, emit, channels, lifecycle hooks) to Cloudflare Durable Objects, while handling hibernation correctly.

It focuses on - Socket.io-like semantics on top of Durable Objects - Proper Actor hibernation handling (WebSockets survive, state is restored) - Typed API with explicit tradeoffs.

It’s early and experimental, but functional. I built it mainly to explore DX and state management patterns on Cloudflare Actors, and I’d love feedback from people who’ve built realtime systems or used Durable Objects.
